That is great news for WWE officials and fans. Rollins was as close to a Shawn Michaels-type star we have seen in a long time.Now, with the movement to get past the loss of a great champion and into a mode of new opportunity, what happens to Rollins once he returns to action?Yes, there is going to be a face turn? Yes, this was expected and had not happened yet? Yes, it was discussed with Vince McMahon as a potential outcome for Survivor Series, but it was nixed by the owner and Chairman of the Board.For all the pops Rollins got from the crowds in matches with Dean Ambrose and John Cena, they should be that much greater once he returns to the ring in August or September. A SummerSlam return, by the way, would be epic!I know you are thinking about it, just like I am. Who will the “Architect” face upon his return? Never fear, my friends. Here are four opponents Rollins could work with once he gets back in the ring.
#1 Kevin Owens
I loved the conversation between the two the night Owens teamed with Rollins against Roman Reigns and his Survivor Series teammates.
A potential WrestleMania match between these two would be epic. It actually can happen, just not at the event in April.
Owens is the future of this company and someone I think would make an outstanding babyface. The only issue with it, his antagonistic style is perfect for the heel role. Owens size and agility makes him as unique as any performer to step in a WWE ring.
The fact he got the call up to the big show and outperformed John Cena from the moment he challenged the company face proves he can hold his own in the ring. What would happen if Owens becomes Triple H’s hand-picked successor to Rollins, leading to a feud to be decided at Survivor Series next year?
That would tear the roof off the arena.
